Taco Soup

1 lb browned ground turkey or beef
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of black beans
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of corn
1 large can of diced tomatoes (if you want... or just a can of tomato paste)
1 can tomatoes and chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing mix
chicken broth

**All of the canned food items are optional. You can adjust the amounts and you can come up with other things to add like olives, green chilies, green beans etc**


Toppings
shredded cheese
sour cream
tortilla chips

Brown ground turkey while seasoning with onion, garlic, cumin, black pepper and salt.
Put in crockpot after it's cooked.
Add each of the cans of food. (I usually just add the entire can without draining)
Add chicken broth until it's about 2 inches below the food. Just enough so it's easier to stir.
Add in seasoning packets and stir. You can add other spices like chili powder, cayenne pepper etc.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5. The longer you cook, the more tasty. Stir well, and serve with a handful of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
